This project aims to create a new class of environmentally friendly, low-dimensional perovskites and pioneer inkjet printing techniques for multifunctional memory devices. These devices are designed to respond to both electrical and optical signals, opening up new opportunities for sustainable electronics. This project expects to yield fundamental insights into perovskite properties and memory mechanisms by establishing structure-property-performance correlations. Expected outcomes include novel device concepts and manufacturing approaches that can be scaled up. This should provide significant economic and societal benefits to Australia by supporting advanced manufacturing and positioning the nation at the forefront of memory technologies.","funding-current":511667.00,"funding-at-announcement":507678,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Xinwei","familyName":"Guan","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-0100-480X "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Dr","firstName":"Xinwei","familyName":"Guan","roleName":"Discovery Early Career Researcher Award","roleCode":"DECRA","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-0100-480X "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"RMIT University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"VIC"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"RMIT University","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"VIC"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4016","name":"Materials Engineering","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401605","name":"Functional Materials","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401805","name":"Nanofabrication, Growth and Self Assembly","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"401807","name":"Nanomaterials","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"220302","name":"Electronic Information Storage and Retrieval Services","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"280105","name":"Expanding Knowledge In the Chemical Sciences","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"280110","name":"Expanding Knowledge In Engineering","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["Saudi Arabia","Singapore"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"Australia’s growing digital economy and emerging artificial intelligence era demand advanced electronic technologies that can secure national prosperity and environmental safety. To this end, this project will create new lead-free, printable semiconductors—known as low-dimensional perovskites—to fabricate multifunctional memory devices. These devices are engineered to respond to both electrical and optical signals, using less energy, reducing waste, and operating reliably under everyday conditions. It fills a gap by providing more efficient, low-cost, and safer alternatives to traditional chips made by resource-intensive, toxic processes. The lead-free approach protects the environment and enhances safety, aligning with national sustainable development goals. Expected benefits include stimulating advanced manufacturing, creating skilled jobs, and reducing reliance on imported electronics. To maximise impact, findings will be regularly shared through social media and public lectures. Collaboration with electronics manufacturers and materials companies will be sought through targeted workshops. In addition, partnerships with research organisations and government agencies responsible for advanced materials and electronics will be actively pursued. Through publications, patents, and these outreach initiatives, this project seeks to disseminate cleaner and more efficient electronic technologies developed in Australia, ensuring positive impacts on the nation’s economy and society."}}}
